Cu-Ag powder having Core-Shell structure was prepared from by electroless plating method using agents such as $AgNO_3$, $NH_{4}OH$, Hydroquinone. Ag coated copper powders were analyzed using scanning electron microscopy(SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer(EDX). The silver coating layer of copper powder was affected from various reaction conditions such as molar ratio of $NH_{4}OH$, $AgNO_3$, and pulp density. Free silver was generated below 0.1M or 0.3M and above of $NH_{4}OH$ mole ratio. Silver coating layer thickened as addition of $AgNO_3$. When the pulp density reached 12% with 0.2M $NH_{4}OH$, and 0.15M $AgNO_3$ at $4^{circ}C$, silver was homogeneously distributed around the copper particles and free silver particles were not generated.
